  • First Appearance: "Detention" (November 20, 1996)
  • Voice Actor: Ezra Weisz

Brain Mite was a bluish demon monster with a pitchfork-like weapon. He could also shoot a beam from his head. Count Dregon tried a new way to attack Dex: from inside his head! Nefaria sent the Maggots to put Brain Mite into Dex's brain. Brain Mite then took over Dex's body while Dex was in detention at school. Brain Mite even made Dex talk back to Principal Chalmers! When Dex realized Brain Mite was inside him, he put everyone in detention to sleep. He transformed into Masked Rider and went to the Leawood Sewer System to find Nefaria. Dex tried to get Brain Mite out with his Super Blue power, but Brain Mite hurt Dex's brain, making Masked Rider pass out. Once Brain Mite came out, he was told to bring Dex's body to Nefaria to steal the Masked Rider Powers. Masked Rider recovered by turning into Super Blue and fought Brain Mite and the Commandoids. The fight damaged the computers. Masked Rider used his Blue Saber to block Brain Mite's attack. After destroying Brain Mite's pitchfork, Masked Rider deactivated Super Blue and used his Electro Saber to disarm and destroy Brain Mite.
